Early bookers will have a lot more choice, and you may be able to take advantage of cheaper prices while travel feels uncertain. Of course, keep in mind that your holiday may not go ahead if the situation hasn’t improved by the time your departure date rolls around.

“At non-peak times when there is good availability, prices can get cheaper the closer you get to the start date of the rental. However, if you leave it too late you can miss out”. “My advice is always to book if you are happy with the price.”
For peak travel times, the cheapest average time to the book varies across the year. For example, booking five weeks before Easter can lead to finding the cheapest deal, while the cheapest time to book for October half term is five-six weeks in advance, respectively.
For peak times such as school holidays, it’s best to book in advance. If you need to hire within a school holiday period you need to be booking several months in advance to get the best deal. So, don't wait anymore, Take one of our early bookings offers and start to plan your holidays in Crete.
Is it easy to drive on Crete?
Driving on the island of Crete is relatively easy, as main roads and highways connect all towns and cities. However, some tourists have reported the Greek signs to be difficult to read, and that the highways are not well marked. Signs are written in English as well, but not posted always where you need them to be. If you are lost in Crete, simply ask one of the locals to help you. They are generally very friendly and more than willing to offer their assistance. The exit road from the airport is Makariou, and this road leads to the National Highway, which follows the north coast of Crete. Fuel stations are available along all major roads, but be aware that they may close at 21:00. Mostly fuel attendants service them. Nearby the airport there are the fuel companies of EKO, BP, Mobil and Shell.
